Analyst: Trump's economic isolation plan could trigger Iran to launch attacks across the Persian Gulf

Comparing the news, analysts said that US President Trump is trying to achieve the unattainable goal of tens of thousands of bombs and missiles through a new round of sanctions, maritime blockades, and increased economic pressure on Iran's trading partners — forcing Iran to end the war on terms proposed by the US.

However, there is a fatal blockage in this old path of forcing Iran to follow suit: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has actually taken control of the Strait of Hormuz and has launched a large number of attack drones in the direction of the Persian Gulf several times. The Revolutionary Guard is basically immune to economic pressure, and it also has plenty of means of retaliation. The key point in America's round of action is Monday, when Treasury Secretary Bezent will announce the details of a new plan. The plan is to shift the method of conflict from mutual air raids in the Middle East region to complete economic isolation.

However, once the new economic pressure actually works, Iran is likely to use military strikes back and forth, targeting energy facilities along the Persian Gulf coast in an attempt to push up oil prices and raise America's operational costs, and force Trump to change course again.
